To avoid using statistics like a drunken man uses lamp posts—support rather than illumination—we should take a different look at the philosophy of gun ownership in America. It doesn’t take a statistics professor to see that the prohibition of drugs in this country has played a major, if not the largest, role in the prevalence of gun violence here in the United States.
Jose Canseco tweeted 9:03 Monday morning “What all does a Pope do?” Canseco asks an important question, and I don’t think he’s the only one who ponders for what purpose the pontificate exists. With Pope Benedict XVI’s recent retirement announcement, I thought this would be a good time to educate readers on who the pope is, how the office came to be and what exactly papal infallibility is all about. You can use this information to wow friends when the topic of cut-throat Vatican politics comes up, or you can just tuck it away for future use in crossword puzzles.
This past weekend was, without a doubt, one of the wildest weekends for Wisconsin athletics in recent history. I will remember where I was and who I was with when junior guard Ben Brust hit his last-second, desperation shot from 40-plus feet to send the game into overtime.
Capital Brewery has been a Wisconsin institution for craft beer ever since the movement began gathering momentum a couple decades ago. Founded on the idea of bringing quality German-style lagers and ales to an audience who had become far too accustomed to drinking boring macrobrews, Capital found success by bridging the gap between bad beer and introductory craft brews. However, in the midst of an all-out craft-beer revolution, the brewery has to ask itself if this mentality is beginning to hold it back.
First, let’s get this straight. I’m a huge football fan. Super Bowl Sunday is one of my favorite days out of the year. Football. Wings. Drinking. The only thing that would make it better would be if my favorite team had actually made the big game. Sadly, though, they did not. And so, for the 18th time in my life, I sat through a game that has absolutely no bearing on my fandom. Only this time, I took notes. On everything but the game.
Ah, award season, that magical time of year when the film industry gets together to congratulate itself for how great it is while the rest of the country sits around and watches. And sometimes people sing. It’s a special time.
Like many who watched the Penn State-Wisconsin football game a few weeks ago, I couldn’t avoid thinking about last year’s horrifying revelations of former Nittany Lions Assistant Coach Jerry Sandusky’s crimes against children. From the infamous 23-page grand jury indictment to the cringe-worthy phone interview with Sandusky on NBC’s “Rock Center”—I will never forget a sullen Bob Costas speaking of “rhythmic slap, slap, slapping sounds”—the news story was unlike anything I’d ever come across before. The lurid accusations, the high-profile figures, the institutional failure—it all seemed so surreal.
The University of Wisconsin System announced Wednesday it will likely become the first public university system in the nation to implement a Flexible Option degree program, which is designed to provide a new way for working adults to earn a college degree.
Our history has seen 28 Chancellors and Presidents come and go at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Among them include some of the most forward thinkers of our time and many of this state’s best public servants. Among them also include the forgettable and the forgotten—those whose impact left little to be remembered.
Based on David Mitchell’s 2004 bestselling novel of the same name, “Cloud Atlas” puts a capital A in ambition and B in bold.
Madison’s new One Barrel Brewery opts for quality over quantity: it crafts its unique brews one by one. And though proprietor and brewer Peter Gentry may not have expected such a business model to result in kegs that sell out in a single night, challenging him to match supply with each week’s rising demand, he certainly isn’t complaining.
There are some people who are so inspiring, whose actions are so breathtaking, that we are so taken aback, so paralyzed by their courage, that our only course of action (temporarily) is to stand and reflect on how we could be more like them. Malala Yousafzai is one of those people. You may have heard the name. Hopefully, you have heard her story, or at least the recent events that have catapulted her into the public sphere.
While the macrobrew industry has been churning out nearly identical products for the past few decades, investing their innovative efforts in new advertising campaigns and branding gimmicks, the craft beer community has thrived in pursuing the untested and unknown.
Today’s column brings the conclusion to the Wisconsin Battle of the Breweries, an ambitious taste test battle of seven of the Badger state’s greatest beer crafters. If you missed my last column, here is a quick summary of what the beer battle was all about:
Redshirt senior left tackle Rick Wagner stressed earlier this week that the offensive line wanted to see more run plays called. He thought the linemen were losing their identity after their dismal performance at Oregon State. Even offensive coordinator Matt Canada said the team “got off track” during the loss.
Though Brickhouse BBQ may not highlight any of our Friday night drunken pregame debates about where to go get wasted, the spot is undeniably great in the right context. I probably won’t make too many friends over at Alcoholics Anonymous for this suggestion, but the restaurant is arguably the perfect day-drinking spot.
This article marks my first post in a series of columns about Madison craft beer. An avid beer enthusiast for a while now, I’ve founded and operated a beer blog with a few friends for over a year and couldn’t be more excited to have this opportunity to write exclusively about Madison’s best beer, bars and brewpubs. However, before I jump into the heart of the craft beer scene surrounding UW-Madison, I want to take the time to tell you why I love writing about beer in the first place.
I had two Jameses on my mind this summer who (hopefully) bear no relation by blood and other family fluids. The first I could not escape: E.L. James, the author of “Fifty Shades of Grey.” I didn’t read the book, but I did hear a top-notch live reading by Gilbert Gottfried; it was delightful and bespoke eldritch abominations of the written language. The second I came quite voluntarily to: Henry James, the indomitable (and even to some English majors, a thoroughly frightening) prose maestro.
